According to incomplete statistics before the game, the number of people watching Chelsea's home game against Birmingham City in the first round of the 2007-2008 Premier League season in mainland China will reach 60 million, and this does not include the young people watching the live broadcast on the Internet.
At around 1:20 p.m. on August 12, the sun was shining brightly over the Stamford Bridge Stadium in London.
Less than ten minutes before the start of the game, there was almost no free space in the stands.
At the same time, many enthusiastic Blues fans had already He was shirtless and sang the team song at the top of his lungs, creating a game atmosphere before the game started.
Aiello stood in the player tunnel.
At this moment, there was no doubt that neither the other ten players of the home team nor the eleven players of the away team were as dazzling as him, because he is Mr.
Sixty Million, the world's No. 1 player.
One price.
Of course, the cameras in the player tunnel were also pointed at him, allowing fans around the world to watch the live broadcast to see the elegance of Mr.
Sixty Million, with sharp eyebrows and starry eyes, dark and healthy complexion, angular face, and charming smile.
He looks very handsome.
If he were placed in ancient times, he would definitely be the image of a founding general.
Next to him is a small caddy that reaches his waist.
At the same time, the visiting team players standing on the right side all turned around before preparing to go off to look at Aiello, the world's most valuable and paid player, as if they wanted to see the difference at a glance, but finally found that he was not the same person.
Sample Especially Nafti, he almost stared at Ai Luo from head to toe, as if he was looking at a stunning beauty without clothes.
In the end, he had to admit one fact.
If he had to find a difference, , maybe a little more handsome.
Ai Luo stood in the team and paid no attention to the jealous or envious eyes of his opponents.
As he gradually became a star like the moon, he had long been accustomed to it.
Of course, if he had acquaintances, it would be a different matter.
However, none of the opponents were familiar.
At this moment, under the command of the referee, both teams entered the court under the leadership of their respective captains.
Suddenly, huge cheers came from all directions.
"The players from both sides entered the stadium under the leadership of referee Maxis."
As an old commentator who has explained the Premier League for many years, Zhan Jun will naturally be responsible for explaining this focus battle.
"I believe that all the fans and friends sitting in front of the TV know this person who is walking at the end.
Yes, this is our number one star Ai Luo."
Countless fans sitting in front of the TV cheered for joy, as if they wanted to use their chants to cross geographical boundaries and spread to the sky above Stamford Bridge.
After the team anthems of both teams were played, there was a handshake session.
What left Ai Luo speechless was that the Birmingham players always consciously increased the strength of their handshakes when shaking hands with him.
Since Terry had a slight strain during the training camp, Mourinho put him on the bench to be on the safe side.
Therefore, Lampard, who wore the captain's armband in this game, and Birmingham captain Fosse were on the bench.
The referee guesses the ball.
What's interesting is that Birmingham captain Fussell played for Chelsea for four seasons, but this was still in the last century.
Therefore, except for a small number of fans in the stands who put up slogans "Welcome Fussell home", the crowd at the scene Players basically don't catch a cold.
The 40,000 fans in the stands have created a very fanatical atmosphere at Stamford Bridge.
Aiello and Drogba stood in the center circle.
Drogba stepped on the football and looked directly at the referee at the arc of the other half. .
The referee blew the whistle, and Drogba pulled the football forward.
Aiello cut in front of the Finnish veteran Fussell who stepped forward to steal the ball, and then passed the ball back.
Lampard.
Although Fussell saw Aiello passing the ball back, he had no intention of closing his foot.
Instead, he kicked the calf of Aiello's left foot.
"Referee, CCTV, what you are watching now is the first round of the 2007-2008 Premier League season when Chelsea played Birmingham at home.
The players wearing traditional blue jerseys and blue shorts are the home team Chelsea players.

From the left side of the screen, Attack on the right" Since Zhan Jun was used to the tone of his commentary on the Premier League on esn, it was a bit difficult to change it for a while, but with his own good adjustment ability, he still turned around.
Just when he was about to introduce the visiting team Birmingham, the referee blew the whistle Whistle in the mouth.
"Less than five seconds into the game, Birmingham's captain Fussell kicked Aiello's supporting foot.
It seems that this game may be a lot of pressure for him.
This is completely a disgrace."
Fussell's action undoubtedly caused abuse from countless Chinese fans.
Former Chelsea player Fussell kicked down Aiello.
The Chelsea fans in the stands were naturally very unhappy and immediately booed overwhelmingly.
However, Fussell didn't seem to care and didn't even indicate that he had no intention of kicking Aiello's supporting foot.
His unintentional behavior caused even greater boos at the scene, and even the fans who had just held up the slogan "Welcome Fussell Home" booed harshly.
It can be seen that his aggressive behavior has angered all the fans at the scene.
Mourinho saw that Fussell made an obvious move against Ai Luo but did not get a warning from the referee.
He immediately felt very dissatisfied.
He protested to the fourth official and told the referee on the field.
Apply pressure.
Of course, he was more worried about Ailu's subsequent state being affected by Fussell's aggressive actions.
I don’t know whether the referee Maxis was affected by the boos in the stands or was reminded by the fourth official.
He had already run forward, but then ran back and faced Fossey who turned and ran back.
He gave a verbal warning.
Lampard walked towards Aiello and stretched out his right hand to pull him up: "Is everything okay?"
Ai Luo stood up following Lampard's right hand, then rubbed the left calf that was kicked just now, then jumped twice and grinned: "Hey, it's okay."
"It's okay."
Lampard patted Aiello on the shoulder, "Remember to protect yourself."
Iroh nodded with a smile and ran forward.
Although he was smiling, his heart was on fire.
It was commonplace for Aiello to encounter aggressive behavior in many competitions, but to make a non-stop action at the beginning, it was really It's the first time I've met.
This is the so-called Premier League that emphasizes physical confrontation.
Okay, I'll take it While running, Aiello glanced at the malicious Birmingham players and clenched his fists.
The next game did not develop as Mourinho expected.
Aiello did not affect the state of the game because of Fussell's power.
He played very actively and even won the game with two breakthroughs.
The chants of the fans.
However, in the subsequent game time, the Birmingham defenders seemed more interested in stepping on the soles of Aiello's feet or ankles than trying to break the ball at Aiello's feet.
Fortunately, Aiello can predict the opponent's bad intentions very well and can always avoid the black feet of Birmingham defenders at the most dangerous moments.
"This Birmingham team is not much different from traditional Premier League teams.
They have a tough and direct style of play, emphasizing speed and physical confrontation.
In the ten minutes of the first half, they have proven that they are no better than Chelsea as a whole.
"How much difference" Mourinho frowned while standing on the sidelines.
Now, whenever he sees Aiello falling while holding the ball, he will always rush to the fourth official to complain immediately and put pressure on the referee on the sidelines.
Because the Birmingham players were not playing football at all, but kicking people in the foot.
Fortunately, Aiello is very sensitive in predicting danger on the court and always avoids vital points when it is most dangerous.
Although he was inevitably touched by Birmingham's defensive players, the injuries he suffered were basically superficial injuries, which were harmless.
But the Birmingham players did not calm down because of Mourinho's complaints and pressure.
After ten minutes of testing, Aiello already knew the way the Birmingham players played, which was to scare him with their fierce momentum, but was he that weak?
Aiello used his actions to tell the Birmingham players that sometimes sufficient courage and fighting spirit cannot restore the gap in strength.

Many people believe that Aiello is the most dangerous when he has the ball.
In fact, he is even more dangerous without the ball because he has a keen sense of where the football is coming from.
In the 17th minute, Lampard suddenly made a long pass in the middle about 40 meters away from the Birmingham goal.
Drogba, who was standing on the line of the penalty area, looked up at the football in the air and subconsciously stopped. , because the football is too high and he seems to be in an offside position, turning around to chase the ball is an unwise choice.
In fact, Lampard's long diagonal pass was not passed to Drogba, but to Ai Luo, who was running forward at high speed from the left rib space.
"Danger" Birmingham goalkeeper Doyle only had time to shout before he could only choose to attack hastily because his teammates were still in a daze.
While running, Aiello stopped with his chest about 13 meters away from the goal, and then lightly touched the bottom of the falling football with the arch of his right foot.
The football flew upwards, and goalkeeper Doyle jumped up from his subconscious.
His fingertips flew past and fell towards the goal behind him.
Suddenly, the home team burst into loud cheers.
Because the ball went in After scoring the goal, Aiello was very excited.
He turned to face the Birmingham fans behind the goal and beat his chest.
Then he pointed at the turf he was stepping on.
The meaning he wanted to express was very obvious.
I have the final say on my territory.
Stamford Bridge, I’m in charge from now on The fans in the stands cheered deafeningly and waved their fists in response to Ai Luo.
Mourinho, who was standing on the sidelines, once again showed his naughty side.
He walked to the end of his command area, clenched his fists at Birmingham coach Steve Bruce, swung them out, and roared: "Foul, foul." , we continued to foul but it was us who scored the goal.”
"Lampard's beautiful pass, Ai's wonderful movement, and shooting fully demonstrated his own sense of goal.
He helped Chelsea break the deadlock in the 18th minute of the first half.
The world's most valuable player is not in vain."
An Digory shouted excitedly: "At the same time, this is also the first Premier League goal on his personal resume." s: There are three updates after eight o'clock.
I'm not in good condition lately, so I'll make up for it this week:
